A twin-turbo, supercharged, nitrous Ford GT pushing an estimated 1200 horsepower lined up against a supercharged, nitrous Dodge Viper putting down roughly 1050 — and the race came down to who left the line clean, not who had the bigger number. High Tech Corvette caught the whole exchange, reaction-time jokes and all. Watch to see whether raw horsepower or a perfect launch wins the day.
An 1100-horsepower AWD Nissan GT-R should win this fight before it even starts — thats the whole point of all-wheel drive at a standing start. But this Nth Moto-built Dodge Viper, running an estimated 1700 horsepower through an old-school H-pattern manual and nothing but 18-inch street tires, had other plans during a night of TX2K18 street racing. The 50-to-180-mph numbers alone are worth the watch. See how a rear-wheel-drive holdout took down the AWD favorites.
Nth Moto’s built Viper ACR ran an 18-inch street tire, an H-pattern manual gearbox, and enough power to make viewers question whether AWD supercars even matter anymore during TX2K18. That Racing Channel called it the most savage street car they’d ever ridden alongside — and the comments back it up. Watch the 50-to-180 pull that left even seasoned viewers stunned.
The original Dodge Viper skipped door handles entirely because comfort wasn’t the point. After a two-year hiatus, the reborn Viper had to prove it could add carbon fiber trim, a touchscreen, and heated leather without losing what made the original such a raw, uncompromising machine. Read on to find out how a 640-horsepower V10 roadster ended up quiet enough to actually live with, and still came in under $100,000.
Turbo Mustangs, a nitrous-fed S10, a Viper, and a twin-turbo Chevy II all showed up to the same stretch of bare Texas asphalt for one wild night of no-prep street racing. Without a prepped surface to lean on, every launch came down to raw nerve and whatever grip the driver could find on his own. It’s the same chaotic, unscripted energy that turned Discovery’s Street Outlaws franchise into a national phenomenon. Here’s what a real no-prep night looks like when the cameras aren’t running the show.
As Dodge wound down production of its most unhinged sports car, D3 Performance Engineering decided the Viper deserved a proper send-off. Starting with a track-focused Gen V ACR, the shop added an F1X Procharger and a Nitrous Express kit to push the V10 past 900 horsepower, then took the car to the most demanding stretch of asphalt in the world to prove it. The result: D3 now holds the record for the quickest Gen V Viper on earth.
A 1968 Dodge Charger body, a twin-turbo Viper V10, and a Corvette chassis underneath — this Swedish-built hybrid took five years to complete and reportedly left Jay Leno speechless. Street-legal and rated around 1,000 horsepower, it’s the kind of build that mixes three unrelated platforms into something none of their original manufacturers ever intended. Commenters keep coming back to one detail above all else: the sound. Watch to hear why.
Two privately owned, twin-turbo cars claiming over 1,100 horsepower apiece — a Ford GT and a Dodge Viper — line up at a Texas Speed Syndicate private track day, and the result comes down to something neither spec sheet could predict. Years later, this exact clip still gets cited in GT-versus-Viper debates online, by fans on both sides of the argument who each think the footage proves their point.
The 2013 SRT Viper GTS paired a 640-horsepower, 8.4-liter V10 with real stability control and Brembo brakes — the first Viper generation built to back up its speed with genuine handling credentials. On Pirelli Corsa tires, it posted a lap time at Laguna Seca that beat the Corvette ZR1, and it went even quicker on slicks. A 33-unit Time Attack edition and a factory GTS-R race car pushed the formula further still. Read on for how Dodge finally built a Viper that could out-brake its own engine.
The first Dodge Viper wasn’t built for comfort — it launched in 1992 with no side windows, no door handles, and no anti-lock brakes, powered by an aluminum-block V10 good for a 12.6-second quarter mile. Carroll Shelby drove an early prototype as the 1991 Indy 500 pace car before the public ever saw one for sale. By the time the second generation wrapped up in 2002, Chrysler had refined the formula without softening it. Read on to see how the Viper evolved across its first two generations.
When the camouflage came off the Camaro ZL1 1LE at the Nurburgring, Chevrolet was chasing a number that had stood for six years and belonged to a Dodge. The 1LE package pairs 650 supercharged horsepower with a manual gearbox, spool-valve dampers borrowed from endurance racing and tyres that barely qualify as street legal. How close did it get to the Viper? Read on for the lap time and the hardware behind it.
Ford moved 105,932 Mustangs in the United States during 2016, finishing well clear of both the Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger and extending a winning streak that had already run several years. The interesting part is not the margin but what was happening underneath it, because Chevrolet had just launched an all-new Camaro and Dodge was selling a car whose basic architecture dated to 2008. Here is what actually drove those numbers.
